expands in the foreground in partial shadow and beyond 
the points in full sunlight. The trunks of the point trees 
are reflected forward, and overhead their branches meet 


in a leafy arch. 


(B) Two big trees growing side by side mount against 
a yellow-white sky full of light, their trunk-shadows fall- 
ing toward the spectator across the end of a pond. 


(C) A rn of slender trees beginning at the left unites 
at the right with a dense grove or wood, while the light of 
a brilliant sunset which colors all the heavens comes 
through between the trunks of the slender trees and gives 
crimson and yellow reflections to a brook in the fore- 
ground.

It is a morning of mists, eae sun, not yet high, 
struggling through the dissipating clouds. ‘Thé orb ap- 


pears above a mass of trees crossing the middle distance— 
the mists still lingering on their hither side—and the rays 
fall in the foreground upon a blue brook that passes 
between moist, green banks, and bring a pathway of re- 
flections to the eye.

THE deep green of dense woods forms a dark ahd solid 
background, under a bright blue sky and rose-tinted 
masses of gray and white clouds, to a valley clearing on the 
borders of a lake or winding stream. ‘The sunlight falls 
full upon a red-roofed building on an island in the farther 
water, reflections lightening the surface before it while 
elsewhere the water is in the transparent but deep shadow 
of the surrounding woodland. <A point of land projecting 
from the right into the foreground shares a little in the 
solar illumination, which brings out the wild and rough 
character of the land and defines the scraggly trunks of 
two trees that stand there, culos of the thick forest 
beyond.

in the foreground and groups of trees rising in silhouette 
at either side of it.

A FOOTPATH, its surface gray from Many passings, bisects 
the picture longitudinally, in a wavering line, running 
through a narrow clearing in a wood. The leaves of the 
trees are brown and red, and the fallen ones bestrew the 
grass all along the way.

with some detached trees, under a strong sky of pale blue 
almost filled with light gray and white clouds. High up, 
in the distance, a brook issues from a green hillside and 
plunges in a wavering course down a sort of gorge of the 
middle distance into the low foreground, the sunlight 
brightening the one rocky side of the gorge midway on 
the left.

( 4 o Height, 14 nh ey ee 
In this composition the landscape is of a quasi-French 
aspect and a delicacy of handling quite different from the 
rigorous attack which the artist has made in many of his 
other landscape paintings. A gently moving river crosses 
the picture, furnishing the foreground and reflecting 
countless notes of its green-bordered bank, the neighbor- 


ing slender trees and the gray-white clouds in a robin’s- 
egg sky.

Rep and white farm buildings on a knoll at tpe left are 
sheltered on the far side by tall trees, while (other trees 
rise at the right of the picture. Between these groups the 
eye ranges to a florid sunset sky, which is reflected, with 


the farm buildings, in a body of water covering the fore- 
ground.

A TROUT stream ripples swiftljy~over stones as it comes 
around a high, rocky point and broadens out—a part of ( 
its course carrying it hurrying on, while under the shelter 
of the tall rock it becomes a deep, still pool of crystal. 
Here a trout is seen just rising to a fly.

A PICTURE of the turning of the year, i day in autumn 
when the suggestion of a dusty haze hangs over the land 
without obscuring its features. The spectator is led to a 
_ secluded spot of neighboring Jersey, along the banks of a 
brook which bisects the foreground and merges in the 
middle distance with a river that crosses the landscape 
transversely. The straightaway stretch of the farther 
shore shows a cleared field extending to distant woods. 
Trees and surface growths are yellow, tinged with red, 
with occasional patches of green, and the water reflections 
repeat these notes with those of a gray-white robin’s-egg 

blue sky.

Trees of sparse foliage at thé/left cast slender shadows 
over a broad path, on which several maids are walking, in i 4 
a large city park. The path winds down to the middle

distance rise twin spires and high buildings. This ap- 
parently is a composition taken from the lower end of 
Central Park.

trees of voluminous foliage rise in the middle distance 
against the sky.

IT is low tide, turned flood, and the sea is creeping up in 
greenish-white wavelets on a red, brown, yellow and green, 
wet, sandy beach—full of quality in its reflections of the 
variegated cliffs above it. The sky is the lightest of 
robin’s-egg hue, and carries yellowish-white cloud forms.

throughout its breadth becomes a mirror of the varied 
colorings of its autumn shores and of the sky, which is in 
places deep blue, again has the tone of the green tur- 
quoise, and has varicolored clouds. On the far bank,

of large diameter rises out of the picture. This broad and 
solid trunk is almost paralleled by a slighter, wavering 
trunk of a younger tree farther to the left, at whose foot 
are seen some figures. On the right four maples, out- 
posts of a grove which borders the picture on this hand, 
are brilliant in the flush of autumn, and on the left a 
group of low trees are turning brown. Across a broad

Beyond this wood the rounded tops of distant mountains

the trunk of a large tree that has fallen across it and 
become moss-covered in the moist and sheltered recess of 
the woods. In the middle distance the green and living 
trees rise on either side out of the picture, the underbrush 
beneath them as green as their own tops. Through an 
open space along the brook’s course in the center, one sees 
beyond distant woods a patch of pale blue sky and white 


clouds.

a headland of the middle distance on the left is in the full 
sunlight of a summer day, the light also striking the

The sky is blue overhead but from the right moves rapidly — 
up a heavy, rolling storm-cloud which already darkens 
much of the sea. |

POG Stee Height, 32 inches; length, 1ffinches 


THE course of the great river is across the picture, between 
a low hither shore which leaves the stream open to 
view and a higher and wooded shore where the houses of a 
town are seen and a white church steeple rises out of a 
mass of autumn woodland foliage. In the left foreground 
a line of trees extends up a green sloping bank at the 
water’s edge. Across the river in the distance, mountains 
are Just discernible in the mists of a gathering afternoon 
storm which is raising its gray ramparts over the peaceful 
town, their ominous thunder-heads turned to a fiery red 
in the late afternoon light. Elsewhere the sky is a pale 
greenish-blue, strewn with fleeting strands of fleecy cloud, 
and the river shimmers and glows with a mixture of the 
celestial reflections.

Curious cloud forms abound in a pale turquoise sky, 

tinged in various tones by approaching sunset. Their 

chromatic reflections in a broad river below so color its 
surface that little of the water-green is left. The stream 

comes around a wooded point on the right, whose trees 

cast shadows toward the spectator, and all but fills the 

foreground, its farther shore at the left displaying a few 
- trees and the buildings of a settlement.

A STREAM coming out of the distance at the left rushes 
forward, blue and silvery in the sunlight, and tumbling in 
a low cascade in the middle distance spreads out in a 
broad body of water that occupies all of the foreground 
and extends in either direction beyond the picture. The 
bosom of this corner of a pond or lake is a mirror of varied 
reflections of sky and surrounding landscape. The oak 
which gives its title to the painting looms in detached and 
exclusive dignity in the right middle distance, apart from 
the border of a neighboring green grove of lesser trees. 
Its short but massive trunk is accentuated by sunlight 
which falls from the right and also illuminates aloft the 
sturdy limbs and abundant leafage, while beyond, the 
radiance floods broad plains of the distance and lightens 
the nearer sides of brownish-gray billows of cloud which 
roll across a turquoise sky.

AN end or arm of a lake fills the foreground and indents 
the landscape irregularly, its shore varying from earth 
banks to grass and stones. About it on both sides are 
thick trees—some green, some yellowed over—whose re- 
flections appear in the water. In the central distance, 
houses of the countryside are seen through an opening in 
the tree line.

morning haze. The green woods are touched with brown.

A Broad brook or narrow river emerges from a hazy 
distance at the right of the center, between banks thickly 
grown with tall trees which are just beginning to show 
their autumn colors. The trees rise out of view, their 
branches meeting overhead. The stream’s course is inter- 
rupted by rocks and in the middle distance it descends in 
a narrow cascade between rocks, and then spreads out into 
the beginning of a lake or pond whose waters fill the fore- 
ground. The slightest of autumn hazes pervades the whole.

A TREE, magnificent in its sturdiness and proportions, 
prolific in branches and abundant of foliage, is growing at 
the left of the center in a broad and level sunny grass plot 
occupying the entire foreground, which is marked by 
shadows from the leafy reaches high above. This valley 
clearing, flooded with sunlight, is bordered by other 
sturdy, luxuriant trees of ancient growth and rugged 
trunks, and is bounded in the distance by high mountains, 
dark in their dense forest covering, which raise rounded 
caps toward a deep turquoise sky. At their base, in the 
middle distance, the white walls of adobe houses with red 
roofs are seen beyond some low trees.
